Ingmar Bergman’s 1961 film “Såsom i en spegel” (or “Through a Glass Darkly” in English) has become a play (with the same name) which is now playing Off Broadway at the New York Theater Workshop.

Portraying the young woman sliding into insanity is actress Carey Mulligan (in the film she was played by a young Harriet Andersson). The film was the first in Bergman’s trilogy on faith (or the lack thereof). The play is directed by David Leveaux and Carey Mulligan receives rave reviews.

Carey Mulligan as Karin in “Through a Glass Darkly”, an adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s 1961 film with the same name. Mulligan gets rave reviews for her performance as the young woman who goes insane. Writes Ben Brantley in the New York Times: “Ms. Mulligan convinces us that we are seeing through Karin’s very skin. Such vision is a rare and frightening privilege afforded only by acting of the highest order.”
